I miss you so much. Your passing has left a hole in the hearts of many.

Your many friends from the A.I. Class of 54 say goodby. We shall miss you.
God speed, Sam.
Thoughts by Greer MacMasters and the A.I. Class of 54 Reunion Committee

So sad Neil to hear about your passing. You were one of my favorite classmates at AI Dupont, class of 1954.

We did not cross paths since graduation.

You were such a good friend that I named one of my sons Neil.
May you rest in peace.

Lou Rolph, former classmate

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
